By the Time I Get to Phoenix

By now everyone has seen Joaquin’s clusterfuck of a meltdown/Crispin Gloverimpersonation on David Letterman. Personally, I still think it’s all an act, and as briefly entertaining as that act may be, nothing comes close to the life of Harmony Korine.

Korine, creator of such family classics as Kids, Gummo, Julien Donkey-Boy, and Mister Lonely, has been doing this since 1973. He’s the kind of guy who choosesto hang out with Werner Herzog and write movies about adolescents smoking crack. And raping each other. And drowning cats. And, you know, Disney stuff. So until Spiritualized starts writing songs called Joaquin 4, I need more awesome proof of his perpetual meltdown.

Here’s Harmony’s second appearance on Letterman (yeah, second):

The best way to watch Kids is with a handful of anti-depressants. Or on Valentine’s Day (you’ll have to wait until next year).

That pissed me off. DL acts like Harmony is impossible to interview because he doesn’t say much, but then every time he would actually try to talk, DL would interrupt him with some lame joke or exaggerated laughter. UGH! He’s such an interesting character. I’d like to see him interviewed by someone who will let him express himself.
